Female mixed martial arts fighter Song Ga-yeon, 20, has sued a netizen over a chilling murder threat he made online to grind her up with a chainsaw.
According to the social media post in question, the suspect wrote that he “feels a true urge to murder Song…will purchase a chainsaw,” and threatened “I hope I don’t need to use this on you.”
Song’s management company and MMA promoter Road FC said Saturday the controversial post clearly went over the line so they decided to legally challenge whoever was responsible. The company said Song has been “struggling to deal with a flood of cyber posts against her.” They added that the suspect is someone who has consistently posted derogatory posts against the young fighter.
Song made her MMA debut on Aug.17 this year, defeating Japan’s Yamamoto Emi.
